The repeal bill: what's left in, what's left out
A beginning doomed to failure
The success of the U.S. Constitution is due, mainly, to the vision of the founding fathers who, on reflection, did a pretty good job, but it's significant benefit there was no political baggage surrounding the writers of the document.
Fast forward to 1982 when Canada's home written Constitution was signed into law by the Queen giving Canada full independence from the UK - British North America Act in 1867 governed Canada until this point.
Although the Canadian Prime Minister of the day, Pierre Trudeau, wasn't the most popular guy to hold that office he did have the foresight to get the constitution from a wet dream to reality. Examination of the Canadian Constitution will show there are quite a few 'outs' for political office holders that aren't to be found in the U.S. Constitution.
Jump to today's feeble attempt of a British 'Constitution' and it is completely devoid of protection of citizens that can be found in both the aforementioned constitutions.
If the UK government intended to protect the citizenry it would strike down many of the give-aways that Plod enjoys such as no-warrant searches, your-password-or four-years, entitlement not to answer police questions without penalty.
As both a citizen of Canada and the U.S. (and, actually, the UK) I enjoy many rights that the politicians would never dare give the British. I don't have to respond to Plod yelling: 'Oi, you' if I haven't committed a crime, I don't have to identify myself as a pedestrian (vehicle use requires ID) and I am free to take pictures of any damn thing I see.
The American Constitution can be amended but only with extreme difficulty; the Canadian likewise but with far lower requirements and the British attempt ...
Therefore, IMO, no UK 'constitution' will ever succeed unless politicians, with characters that we see no longer, drafted the document.
Patent attack launched on Google's open video codec
Here we Google again: Apple and MS signal their greed
Apple and MS are simply software pigs who have no one but their own selfish interests at heart. It might, possibly, make commercial sense but from a more public perspective Google has demonstrated, yet again, that not only is it a commercial success but it also is a generous benefactor to many InterNet users, including competitors.
Good luck to Google and may all attempts to eliminate WebM fail.
Net censors use UK's kid-safety frenzy to justify clampdown
Censorship, like manners, begins in the home
The problem with mass censorship be it Apple or government is that in trying to cater for all tastes the more liberal minded members of society get shafted.
Just because a brother of mine is a bible-thumper and frowns on 'pornography, even though affairs are OK, shouldn't mean I have to share his views (which I don't).
The optimum answer is for individual content controls based on government lists and accessed through ISP's so each user can enjoy the InterNet as best suits them.
Why is the InterNet proceeding differently to other forms of media - just because some loud mouthed do-gooders think I shouldn't enjoy watching what I want. Next they will be giving us 'closed' Sundays as in former times.
A pox on the lot - and hands off my InterNet.
Hack reveals passwords from locked iPhones and iPads
"... can't really blame Apple for using what is an industry standard now ..."
Why not? Apple always insinuates that the sun rises and sets on Cupertino and that their products are superior to other peoples
Clearly Apple is the same as others and not a cut above..
Three jailed for phone box thievery
"BT was first alerted when it realised that takings from phone boxes .... considerably lower ...."
Reading between the lines this implies that robbing the coin boxes involved no physical damage to the telephone itself. This seems unlikely. Surely even BT would have twigged to the fact that damage equates to robbery.
Pay telephone units manufactured by the late lamented Northern Telecom, of which hundreds of thousands are still in use, are painted bright orange on the theory anyone seeing an orange pay telephone will know it's been damaged.
Unfortunately Bell and company forgot to advise the police or the general public of this 'silent' security feature.
Google and Facebook named as Twitter suitors
Twitter is acceptable in China and elsewhere
One advantage Twit has over FB is that certain governments, who have understandably restricted FB, permit access to Twit.
I guess if FB does the deal it will be to stop competition with it's web site whereas Google could use it as a vehicle to challenge FB.
PS3 jailbreak judge refuses to rescind GeoHot order
Technically stunted judge reveals ignorance
You would have thought that judges would be embarrassed by some of the rulings and orders they issue.
George, on the other hand, should simply get an old clunker computer and load Sony's winnings on to the drive and let them go whistle Dixie.
Free Android encryption comes to Egypt
A solution to RIM's challenges
Stand alone encryption is infinitely better than system encryption as nosey governments cannot attack a cell handset manufacturer and updating is easily done - all with difficulties for the governments concerned.
Authoritarian governments such as the U.S. now is have nothing to gain by poking around servers as the protection lies with the user.
The only things is how do we know there are no backdoors to Redphone and TextSecure? Other Apps might well be able to bypass these Apps and surreptitiously transmit them without users knowledge.
Sony expands legal offensive to more PS3 hackers
Sony shoots self in foot and forgets U.S. law has it's limitations
How dumb can an otherwise seemingly normal company get. They get lazy in their security precautions and when someone discovers the magic key they pretend they can re-secure the device with lawyers doing the job.
Another point is that U.S. law is limited to the jurisdiction of the U.S. territories and that many governments don't have protection provisions in their legislation.
Really very short sighted.
Google, antitrust, and the 'Copygate' hypocrisy
If Google was like Apple ....
it would have patented the idea of search and no doubt trade marked the term.
Instead, notwithstanding all it's faults, Google has done the world a great deal of good including the donation of software to the public domain which is even being used by competitors!
Sony tweets 'secret' key at heart of PS3 jailbreak case
A complete defence?
I guess George Hotz, aka geohot, potentially has a 'complete defence' to the allegations levelled at him by Sony.
The whole matter proves that Sony still hasn't figured out security following that 100% foul up with the root technique. See: < https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal >.
TERRORISTS IN SUBMARINES menace the Free World!
Now the U.S. Coast Guard will require anti-submarine ships
The U.S. Coast Guard, who assumes it mandate includes all world oceans and seas, will require an expensive upgrading to improve it's anti-submarine defences.
And I thought coastal waters went out to 200 miles.
Starbucks' iPhone barcode app easily scammed by screengrab
"NFC-based payment systems obviously can't be copied in this way"
Just give someone enough time and incentive!
EC parades common phone charger
Lucky Continentals with small pinouts - UK monster plugs fail again
As a technician my universal plug comprises two wires with bared ends - the damn monster plugs they use in the UK are far too big to carry around. Malaysia, Singapore and HongKong also use the UK monsters - as do some Singaporean owned hotels in their region.
Chinese outlets offer combo sockets - they even accept the weird Australian ones.
Don't forget plugs and sockets don't indicate the voltage - better to check the lamp/bulb ratings for that.
Council dives into crematorium-heated pool
Bet not many Chinese will be swimming there!
Chinese have an aversion to places and things associated with death.
You'll never find a Chinese person buying a house near a cemetery or in a hotel near one, either. The Caravelle Hotel in SaiGon is a suicide jumpers favourite spot and the Chinese avoid it, too.
In the swimming pool they possible would be worried that their ancestors might happen by, as they often do, on a day when the rest of the family is enjoying a dip. If you see a Chinese person burning make-believe money, often it is for their deceased family members.
Facebook expands in Asia
Still persona non grata in China, VietNam, etc
No matter how close to mainland China they get, Facebook still isn't welcome although Twitter is.
Given the central governments aversion to social unrest and Facebook's participation in Tunisia and Egypt the chances are the status quo won't change.
In fact, Facebook might be increasingly unwelcome in a number of authoritarian countries.
NY hookers cross street from Craigslist to Facebook
Where is the Sheriff of Chicago, or all those other prudes?
I guess the Sheriff has another problem, in his mind, he must deal with but he has all those Attorney-Generals from the bible thumping states to lend a hand.
Facebook's reaction might be different to Craigslist so this challenge to the Sheriff's morals might turn out differently.
iPhone owners get walked through confessional
Why not go the whole hog?
The App should include the ability to play the Hail Mary's in audio and then do whatever with the rosary on the screen.
Then they could have a fully automated version whereby the type of misdeed is selected from a menu, a designated penalty is awarded and the iThingy chants the HM's and then displays the rosary action for the appropriate number of times.
This way RC's won't have to drop in to the church - saving gas and time, or giving the preacher a good laugh. Best of all there will be no need to drop any coin!
Texting teenager plunges to his death
1 down, millions to go: building owners shouldn't have to pay tp protect idiots
Building owners have enough responsibilities without having to extend walls designed to prevent cars from popping over the edge to be tall enough to prevent people stupid enough not to pay attention as to where they are going.
I have just measured the balcony wall off my bedroom and it is 110 centimetres tall and sufficiently high to hold me back even when leaning over to check whose ringing the front door bell.
Death by dumbness should be the coroners decision.
CDMA Verizon iPhone 4 contains GSM chip
"nothing to stop Apple incorporating a second, GSM-tuned antenna"
No need to, GSM can piggy back on the CDMA antenna and the degraded signal will be little worse than a Lemon 4, which everyone will remember, didn't stop iPhans from buying it.
Maybe they could deposit an antenna on the glass.
DEC founder Ken Olsen is dead
I still have callouses on my fingers from keying in the bootstrap!
Two things stand out about both the PDP8 and 11, of which I have an 8 in storage somewhere, was that they were built like the proverbial brick sh*thouse and defective components could even be changed by a technician.
You could actually 'scope' an IC pin and watch a flip-flop change state - try that on those big, black blobs nowadays. A great technical teacjing computer.
Another big thing was interconnectivity! You could buy PC boards that would provide interfacing for almost anything - the PDP series were used by credit card companies in the early days for telephone line input at which they excelled.
Phillips, amongst others, produced a chipset for both the 8 and 11 that ran DEC software - none of the Apple crap in those days.
Talking about the California fruits, DEC had one hell of an App library that saved many a programmers neck.
Thanks, Ken, in spite of my callouses!
Android Open NFC gets a bit more open
Potential alternative uses
When these things start 'flying' there are, potentially, a myriad number of uses for them such as security or checking out library books, rental car out-of-hours releases, door openers, etc.
Really interesting possibilities are lurking out there.
Critics slam feds for 'unprecedented' domain seizure
American's moralities exposed - really strange
Whilst US Senator Ron Wyden is to be congratulated on bringing this up officially (I wrote about it here on the same grounds last week) you have to question U.S. moralities.
Imprisonment without trial: OK
Rendition: OK
Torture: OK
Spying on Americans against The Constitution: OK
FBI 'dial up' telephone monitoring anywhere in USA without warrant: OK
Copying contents of any U.S. computer: OK
Authorising Executive murder of American citizens: OK

Seizing InterNet domain names: PROBLEM
HP intros 'lay it flat' all-in-one touchscreen PC
Apple has attempted to patent the idea ...
Apart from the fact that Jobs sticks his name on anything Apple patents screens supplied to certain industries, including the airlines, have had this ability for positioning built-in for years. Adjustable, yet!
Of course, since Jobs only flies corporate jets he wouldn't recognise a check-in counter if he saw one.
The U.S. Patent office ... a standing joke.
Vodafone nabs new Nexus
It would be good to get a Nexus 2 without frills ...
as the carrier software seems to spoil the experience.
I live in a country where cell handset manufacturers have to sell unlocked, from the factory, units. They are also able to sell through carriers with all their 'bling' added.
Although not a smartphone owner I have had the opportunity to use friends units here as well as identical units in North America, loaded with carrier ware, and the perceived operating is remarkably different in many cases.
Our 'unlocked prices' from manufacturer stores are lower than PAYG units of the same type from carriers.
Oz road safety strategy moots mobile phone ban
By the time 2020 arrives a lot of the existing problems ...
might be dead.
We've all heard of people walking into others, or lampposts, etc., well driving adds the potential of serious injury or death to these texting drivers. Often their driving careers are short-lived.
That's the good news.
Unfortunately these characters often hit others, en route to the hospital or morgue, which is a tragedy.
Automobile drivers at least have four wheels under them, but motorcyclists only have two yet these drivers frequently text and drive - and have major and minor accidents in the process.
Out here in the Far East we don't only have the mobile phone menace but we have mobile television and video players. These devices aren't only for the high-end cars but can be found in the dashboards of even modest vehicles and, even worse, are clearly within the eyesight of drivers. The TV receivers fit into the aperture meant for radio/CD players and in use the screen pops out and up. Viewers in the back seat can see the screens quite clearly.
The TV receivers don't take signals off the air but are fed with high quality, low loss signals through 3G systems. In VietNam the system is almost country wide and not one or two channels but all sorts of programming from local, in-country sources, as well as satellite channels.
Stroppy Belgian students in Ryanair mutiny
Landing agreements supersede dumping, denied boarding, etc
Bumped can be used to describe any number of reasons that results in 'denied boarding'.
Your phrase: "let them find their own way home" is EXACTLY what will not happen if Ryanair is required to meet it's obligations. What usually happens is they use a different carrier - Cathay Pacific terminated a pilot who happened to be in the U.S. on lay over and flew him back on a competitors aircraft.
And Ryanair wouldn't get away with dumping across the nearest border, either, as present travel tracking can be used to prove a passengers intent.
Single, as in no return flights, can be purchased for most destinations. the right terminology in 'onward' - countries can require 'onward' rather than 'return' ticketing.
I live in a country that requires proof of onward travel, so the difference is familiar to me. Onward travel can be by any means, as well, including road, rail sea or air.
Besides, proof of onward travel is very ephemeral with e-ticketing, since changes/cancellations can be made by e-mail these days. Whenever I fly through a drug hub, such as Bangkok, I always depart on the passport of entry to Thailand (a necessity) but land at the next destination on one of my other passports - removing any thought I might be carrying drugs. Never been challenged on this, either.
As for seeking assistance from diplomatic sources, most countries reps aren't worth even contacting for assistance for their first line is that 'We can't help you with legal matters, only ensure that the host countries legal procedures are followed'.
Better reaction than tame British passengers
Passengers who are bumped in a foreign country should always remember that every airline agreement permitting flights to countries contains a clause that each airline is responsible for the removal of all passengers from a country that were brought in to the country.
It doesn't mean you will travel out on the same carrier but it does mean you will get out and, usually, home.
It is high time passengers vocalised just how venal Ryanair is - the only thing it has in common with other airlines is that is has aircraft. They have never heard of service.
Sir Elton outs iPad 2 release date
Given that Elton is a fashion trend setter ...
he is most in line for one of the thousands of promo samples sent out free by Apple PR.
And if he wrote a song about it, Apple would be even happier.
First fondleslab found in 1970s kids TV sci-fi gem
I admit it, I was wrong, Jobs didn't copy the Chinese ...
who had pads/tablets out months before Apple. but it was devised by ROGER PRICE in his story of the The Tomorrow People, produced by Thames Television for the independent (commercial) British ITV Network, running between 1973 and 1979.
Still, even though Jobs wasn't the world's slab/pad/tablet inventor - could it be Moses - he was the first in Cupertino. Still prior art though.
Bold as brass metal thieves disrupt rail, comms, electric
Fishermen in on the deal, too
Underwater cables look much alike whether they are carrying copper communications cable, fibre-optic or high voltage electricity.
Starting about three years ago Vietnamese fishermen went after a new species - the underwater cable. The cables laid during the American War became redundant being replaced by fibre and some bright spark in the telecoms industry said the fishermen could recover and sell as much of the old cable and sell on to supplement their incomes.
Unfortunately an old cable, to a fisherman, looks much the same as a new one and as a result the InterNet capacity was slashed. We are talking tens of kilometres here!
Every so often around the Gulf of Thailand, a major feeder area for many countries, another cry of anguish goes up as yet another species is caught. Now all fibre cable have GLASS printed in four languages along the length of the plastic sheaths.
Funny thing is these fishermen know which the electrical power cables to the many islands look like - and that they go BANG when cut!
Bradley Manning 'is British' – campaigners urge UK.gov to act
His Mother is British and your court system is sort of, too
Since his Mother was born in Wales, and Manning was even conceived in Wales - important if you subscribe to the belief a person exists at the time of conception.
Still, even if Manning isn't British (which he could easily claim) ordinary, decent morals require that prisoners be treated in a humane way. Even the guys down in Guantanamo have it better than Manning because the thick sculled Marine regime in Virginia have pre-judged him OR want to reduce his mental capacity to such an extent that he will be unfit for trial.
The U.S. screams loud enough when one of it's personnel get banged up in Korea or VietNam but Manning, remember, is one of your own. The U.S. is sticking it to their own people which makes the Marines Corps as despicable as the captors of Americans, if not more so. Of course Manning's abuse is a great moral booster, too, knowing that your government is capable of permitting this to happen.
This will enable the aforementioned thick sculled Marine regime to disown him and say he was accepted by mistake, etc.
Hell, some bent characters might even say that's what happens when you let gays at the secrets - seeing how the Marines are so enamoured with people of alternate life styles.
The fact is the U.S. government is dumb. It gave over 3-million people clearance to view these 'secret' messages that were little more than what people write when visiting another country. There have been no 'secrets' revealed unless you call the murderous bastards flying the helicopters that were used to serially murder two Reuters reporters and a bunch of unarmed civilians featured in the leaked video.
No other country has suffered such embarrassment because (a) None is dumb enough to give so many people, in so many places, access to material that is superfluous to their job; (b) over use of the term 'secret'. It would appear that only toilet paper escapes being given a secrecy rating.
Whilst not many in the U.S. can see it at this time, Manning has done everyone a favour (if he did in fact leak anything) as (z) the U.S. has reviewed it's security procedures; (y) has implemented some form of security on computers having access to restricted material; (x) has demonstrated to the diplomats that they are little better than gossips.
The other beneficiaries are other countries who now realise, if they didn't before, is that the U.S. doesn't honour agreements, it is two-faced and even stoops to collecting DNA from other diplomats with whom they come in contact and plays dirty.
Two consecutive U.S. governments, of both political stripes, have now voted to deliberately break the terms of The Constitution which goes to show just how amoral the politicians and government is - and they deem to tell other governments how to run their operations!
If you went to school in the U.S. or even joined the military you might recall just how many times you vowed to uphold/observe The Constitution - almost daily. Sort of diminishes the worth of all those pledges to being little better than hot air.
P.S. I carry a U.S. passport.but am too embarrassed to use it.

UK police crime map website: Who's the victim here?
Home Office/ACPO looking after their friends at Rock Kitchen Harris?
Was this effort even put out for tender?
Quite honestly the data presentations are boring - as if it is a web version Power Point. The Register had a piece on the CEO of the company who does the mapping as used in Twitter - those presentations would be much exiting to look at than boring numbers.
I put in Stonehenge as a location and it offered me two police services (forces suggest violence as used on students). I then put one in each window and then the wondrous cloud based service simply provided some hypnotic rotating icons.
Very disappointing, but should we expect better from Plod + Rock Kitchen Harris + Amazon?
P.S. I just tried 10 Downing Street (SW1A 2AA) - the Plod site just did it's circular trick. (I thought a telephone tapper was located there during December)
Apple pressed to show succession plan

Dutch get wound up over invisible SMS
Finding those elusive cell phones
There are two major kinds of cell phone location technologies - the US FCC has different accuracy requirements for them . For "network-based" technologies, accuracy must be within 100 metres for 67% of calls, 300 metres for 95% of calls; for "handset-based" technologies, within 50 metres for 67% of calls, 150 metres for 95% of calls. The remaining 5% of calls are handled on a "best efforts" basis.
"Network-based" refers to, usually, Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) – a carrier has receivers located at cell towers and determines a cell phone location by processing the signals received from that cell phone, which locates wireless phones by comparing the time it takes a mobile station's radio signal to reach several location measurement units (LMUs) installed at an operator's base stations. One advantage is that the technology works with legacy handsets, but the drawback is that it doesn't always work well in rural areas where there are fewer base stations and towers to measure a signal.
"Handset-based" generally refers to a cell phone with built-in Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver – it calculates its own location by receiving transmissions from at least three GPS satellites.
CDMA operators opted for handset-based location technology based on global position system (GPS) technology using satellites to determine the location of a handset. This offers greater accuracy but can't pinpoint callers indoors — because the signal is too weak — and is ill suited in the urban canyons common to cities.
Most of the GPS technologies currently deployed include a fall back to Advanced Forward Lateral Triangulation (AFLT) or Assisted GPS (A-GPS) technology to achieve better accuracy. Accuracy rules require these handset-based systems to provide accuracy within 150 metres for 95% of the calls and 50 metres for 67% of calls. A-GPS also is used on WCDMA networks.
There is also another technology from Rosum Corporation (www.rosum.com) who is exploring TV-GPS, a system that combines television signals with global positioning satellite (GPS) technology for tracking assets/people right to places where GPS alone can't go, such as in the high-rise "canyons" of urban centres and even inside buildings and garages.
Location Technologies include:
E-CID - Enhanced Cell-ID (500-1000 metres depending on cell-site density)
Derives additional timing advance and power measurements from the wireless network.
A-GPS - Assisted Global Positioning System (>30 metres)
Uses modified handsets that contain a GPS receiver and a special network server to assist in location calculation.
Uplink Time Difference of Arrival (>50 metres)
Uses low-cost location measurement units installed in the operators' base stations to precisely calculate location using trilateration (aka Lateral Triangulation).
AOA - Angle of Arrival (100-500 metres)
Uses two or more antennas with multiple element arrays, allowing the exact location of each AOA element to be calculated precisely.

In the States the FBI can also use credit card transactions in REAL TIME. Cash remains king (or queen).
Suspicious people can always have their cell GPS receiver disconnected - a -minute operation at any cell service centre. Emergency calls can also be made when the SIM is removed or a cell is not in their providers area.
ISPs and Vaizey set to bump heads over default porn filter
The UK's facing unforeseen financial challenges and they waste their ...
energy and resources discussing InterNet filters? Some one has their priorities severely mixed up.
Porn for one person is light titillation for others. It doesn't matter what medium looks in to there is someone's idea off porn. It doesn't matter whether it is an art photograph, a famous painting, a statue even abstract art - someone will complain about pornography.
The government would dare allow standards to be set by communities - it means relinquishing too much control.
It works in other countries. Police in other countries consult with the prosecution and then, if judged as having crossed the line, off to court and a judge, with a jury, render a decision - some decisions are quite forward looking.
Why should the decisions be made by do-gooders who think their morals should be foisted upon the general population?
Let the government clean up the banking industry, the pollution crisis and the crowded roads before they waste their time on this.
Crocodile keyboard becomes top Android app
Not available on Apple as Jobs didn't think of it first as well as being recently patented
A fellow employee has this on his Android device and even I, being large of finger, found it a breeze to use compared to those squarish keys with small spaces between them and the adjacent key.
Well done, David Baker.
Microsoft lands big handbag on Google's copy kisser
Who cares how many MS pooh-bars deny Google's claim
The facts are simple. Google caught Bing copying.
So what? Bing is still an inferior product - and an attempt to shore up MS revenue which is none too healthy compared with it's history or other competitors.
Scanner snares senior servant
Hard to believe, I thought knockers were door knockers
Having grown up in the UK countryside where every house worthy of the name mansion boasted a custom-cast 'knocker' from Gomme's Forge, Loosley Row near Princes Risborough (UK) so I did a Google and surprise, right at the top were pictures of female apertances.
At least my naivete was countered when I found door knockers at positions 4 and 7 (A hinged fixture, such as a metal ring or bar, used for knocking on a door).
What's wrong with the word 'breasts'?
ICO pays through the nose for 'website development'
You should also be loyal to your friends - and give them the contracts
This even pre-dates a couple of millennia (including our present one) as Proverbs 21:21 (NASB) states, "He who pursues righteousness and loyalty finds life."
So ICO, in handing out this contract was only following biblical practice, which is kind of hard to argue against unless you are of a different faith.
So much for Cameron's cut-the-costs regime.
After all this expense I hope they copyrighted and registered the work.
Hack spies 'iPad 2' at mag launch
Apple PR at work
Have you noticed when the California fruit factory is out of the newspapers something crops up to bring it to peoples attention.
Given the flap about the boozy Apple employee who lost his pre-production Lemon it is doubtful that the would make that mistake again.
This is what PR companies do - tease iPhans in to ignoring all the new, improved competition until another Apple upgrade is ready.
Microsoft reinfects Chrome with closed video codec
I am tired of all this underhanded downloading of bloatware
The early versions of Windows Media Player were of a reasonable size and I left the on my machines. Slowly they grew in size as new 'features' were added. What really grabbed me was bloody advertising appearing under "Media Guide".
So I dumped it and live happily with Irfanview and some very handy plug-ins and VLC which handles any video I am interested in.
EU Commission proposes new directive on storing air passenger details
PNR data is overkill for a security check.
The PNR contains first name, initial and last name; DOB; passport number/place of issue/expiry date; credit card information; meal preferences; seat assignment; special needs; potentially an address in the country of departure; cell/telephone numbers; e-mail address(es); frequent flyer plan number(s); date of departure/flight info; date of return; hotel - if made through GDS**; car reservations - if made through GDS; itinerary if multiple segment; travel agent notes.
Of this data there seems only 9 needed by Plod and company: first name, initial and last name; DOB; passport number/place of issue/expiry date; date of departure/flight info. The rest are quite unnecessary for a security check.
I deliberately obfuscate my information, and pay cash, because it simply an unwarranted intrusion into my business. Fortunately my travel agent has a separate database in which she stores cell/tel numbers, etc. so she has no need to include this in the PNR. She also understands she'll lose all my and my employers business if she ever handed it out.

UK's Supreme Court greenlights Twitter usage
The higher the court, the more arcane the arguments
The juicy stuff in a trial goes on in the lower courts where all sorts of information is input in to a case.
One case I remember centred on the word 'may' as in "if you find there is insufficient evidence you MAY find the accused not guilty". This word went through several levels of appeal and ended up in the Canadian Supreme Court where is was decided that MAY doesn't mean the same as MUST.
Case dismissed!
Interesting to the legal profession but as boring as hell to the public - except the accused.
Mobile spectrum gets more mobile
What about new networks and technologies?
Canada now has moved the newest cell voice networks in to the 2+ GHz range in addition to the 900 and 1800MHz bands.
Will the new UK spectrum plan preclude/lock-out new entrants into the business?
If it does it seems that the public could lose out, again.
Sky loses pub footy case
Murdoch losing? Just give him a little time to show his 'appreciation' so the judges get it right.
There are so many price differentials in the EU - it always seems the British are getting the short end of the stick. The EU has been in existence long enough for all external vendors to understand the rules.
Unfortunately Canada also suffers from the same price discrimination but only with different countries.
There are English and French TV networks with different 'blackout' rules and often English speaking people will view a match on the French network with the sound turned down using the English radio network as the source of commentary!
Post-a-puppy woman hit with cruelty charges
This is on a par with drying small dogs in a microwave or X-raying a baby in check-in

There was also the cases in the U.S. where babies carrier were X-rayed for dangerous weapons, with the BABY still INSIDE! See: < http://articles.latimes.com/2006/dec/20/local/me-baby20 > and <http://www.securityoracle.com/security_forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=267 >.
Canada? The computer vendor says no
"... preformed admirably from -40c up to 35c. Why can't a tablet do the same?"
They are generally larger than smartphones and and harder to keep warm and lose heat more quickly. Then there's the wind-chill factor. Smartphones can keep snug and warn under your clothing.
The rapid temp changes with a Chinook might cause condensation. Apple has admitted that it's warranty denying moisture detectors are defective and rely on the ability of an Apple employee to 'interpret' the colour of the detector not exactly scientific.
Of course, if it's an Apple product you are out of spec, anyway, with your operating specs.

Chicken croquettes?
- Spoonula Jan 12, 2007 01:44 AM
I've looked for years for a recipe that tastes as close to the Howard Johnson's chicken croquettes from long ago and fear I may never experience them again. Help?
I f you have an older copy of The Joy of Cooking they cover croquettes pretty well. It would give you a jumping off place for the old HOJO's type. I waitressed and worked the counter in one for a long time, HS and some of college. If I remember theirs were more conical in shape? I remember that they were cooked in the deep fat fryer. Then there was that really salty chicken gravy that went with them.
Oh my, you brought back such a fond memory. I hope there is another croquette-junky out there who will have a recipe close to Ho-Jo's. A couple of years ago, I tried a number of different recipes from places like grange cookbooks and Pa. Dutch cookbooks, but nuthin came close to my childhood favorite! Maybe it was the gravy. :)
I'm almost afraid to actually find the recipe for fear it will completely ruin my memories. We didn't stop at Ho Jo's all that much as a kid, only when traveling but I had to have the croquettes and the coconut ice cream for dessert.
In her book "Tender at the Bone" Ruth Reichl describes a childhood incident involving chicken croquettes that started me on a search for a good recipe too. In the book, they are made with Bechamel (all cream), seasoned with minced onion, salt, cayenne pepper, and mace. Dipped in cracker crumbs, fried in butter. Supposedly as good as the ones at Delmonico's.. (It's not a recipe, just a description.)
I've got 8 or 9 croquette recipes now, 2 that I would call "keepers". Please ask if interested.
SOMEBODY must have Hojo's recipes--anybody know?
I'd actually be interested in the "keeper" recipes. I have two bags of frozen leftover turkey meat that I might want to transform.
Sure, Kevin Andrew Murphy-- one is at Epicurious (I cannot make the link work), but it is under the name "Turkey Croquettes" from May 1998.) There are more than 10 reviews after that recipe, too, so you can read opinions and suggestions.
The second (they're very similar) boasts "hot creamy-soft interiors, crunchy jackets. You may have forgotten how good they are."
Chicken Croquettes
3 TBLS butter or margarine
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 TBLS minced parsley
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. grated onion
Dash *each* paprika, pepper, nutmeg
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups finely diced cooked chicken
* * *
3/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 beaten egg
2 TBLS water
Melt butter, blend in flour, add milk and broth, cook and stir 'til bubbly, cook about 1 minute more. Add parsley, lemon juice, onion, seasonings. Cool, add chicken, salt to taste, and chill.
Shape into 8 cone shapes (wet hands help) about 1/4 (scant)cup each.
Roll in crumbs, dip in a mix of the egg and water, then roll in crumbs again. Fry in 365 degree deep hot fat for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes 'til golden brown. This recipe suggests serving these with canned peas in white sauce, so I guess it's a maybe a '50s recipe? Anyhow, enjoy!
re: blue room
Excellent! I'll be a martyr and try all the recipes I can find - in the name of culinary science of course!
re: Spoonula
Spoonula, I think the sauce/gravy that goes over the croquettes is almost as important as the croquettes themselves--and we don't yet have recipe for that--maybe someone will suggest. Was it just a cream sauce, or more like gravy?
re: blue room
Isn't it basically just sort of a bechemel, with a chicken broth base? At least that was what it always tasted like.
re: blue room
Blue room I believe that the sauce was more of a cream sauce than a gravy. I used to LOVE HoJo's croquettes it is very dissappointing that I can not buy them any more.
re: melly077
You have to make aroux- whic is simply flour and butter-about 2 tbls of each. melt butter, addd flour, let cook out fht eflour tastes for a minute or so. Add hot chicken stock a little at a time, about 2 cups, keep stirring intil smooth & creamy. Add salt & pepper to taste. Perfect sauce. Just make sure your cook the flour and butter first.
re: hummingbird
I wonder if they still taste ok as I remember from a kid, I adored them as a kid. The brand I get has gotten awful (I can't remember it off-hand), especially the gravy/sauce, let alone they don't even give you enough to cover what comes in the box.
The Hojoland website refers you to Fairfield Farms, which about a year ago I contacted - they acted like they didn't know what I was talking about - then said they didn't distribute in the Midwest.
sivyaleah, you might be referring to Weaver brand chicken croquettes - I've seen several websites that have dispelled the myth that they taste like HoJos.
re: Spoonula
Yes, it's Weaver. Awful. Nothing like HoJo's at all. The sauce is particularly disappointing.
re: sivyaleah
The new distributer is La Mancha LLC, (how funny) but I'm not coming up with any info.
Yes, that Farmfields site seems to have been bought by Moosewoods.
I live in MA and checked out one of the local stores to see if they carried the HoJo's.
As I travel around I'll check out other stores.
I do remember, in many years past buying some that looked like little tee pee's so to speak, and they came with little cups of white "gravy".
I don't know what brand they where though.
Hey, call up Jacques Pepin, he should be able to lead you in the right direction!
re: hummingbird
I guess I'll have to keep making them on my own until then, or at least until I find Jacque's phone number :-)
re: hummingbird
I also live in MA and have checked every store from plymouth to marshfield no one has them any more.
re: Spoonula
We've been trying to find the croquettes and sauce for years as well with no luck thus we're designing our own recipies based on memory. Haven't hit on it exactly but the eatin' is good. We'll keep searching.
re: foodie128
One brand I remember in Boston back in the day was Seiler's Chicken Croquettes - a childhood food memory! And the sauce was a white gravy, probably made with stock.
When my last rurkey was overcooked (oven thermometer malfunction) I made croquettes to use up the dry meat. I looked up several recipes so as to learn the basic similarities, then winged it. Sauteed onions and celery in butter, added flour and garam masala until I had a nice roux as the base for a thick bechamel to which I added chicken base. This and the turkey all went into the food processor, with an egg and some of the leftover turkey stuffing (which included apple and raisins). The result was pretty loose although the patties I made firmed up in the fridge. I dipped them in egg and panko and did a shallow pan-fry. The sauce was a cream sauce to which I added some leftover turkey gravy. There was enough for 6 portions, and I can't wait to make something similar again. I think it was including the stuffing that put them over the top. When I was a kid, a friend always got the name wrong and called them culottes - we both regarded the HoJo's version as a treat, but this grown-up version beat the pants off the HoJo's culottes!
Hi. About a year or two ago, I asked my local Stop and Shop to order them for me--they ordered a case of them. You wouldn't believe how fast I went through them, and even rationed them for my kids, who loved them too. You might try asking your local store for it...I think Bozzuto's was involved in the distribution somehow.
I can't resist this snarky comment:
To make these, take any old chicken croquette recipe, omit the chicken, and you will be right on track to recreate the HoJo version.
The HoJo treats I remember from childhood were their fried clams and the pistachio ice cream.
I use the same recipe that blue room uses ... Try this sauce
Hollandaise Sauce
4 Egg Yolks
2 sticks butter, Warmed
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon Hot Water
Place a double broiler on medium heat. Once water is simmering, place egg yolks and lemon juice in a metal mixing bowl. Whisk eggs over water slowly cooking them, being careful not to burn.
Once egg yolk mixture has thickened slightly, remove from heat and set aside.
re: lipstix64
Eggs Benedict and most of its variations have Hollandaise Sauce, which is what Roxc's recipe is. Eggs Commander has Bearnaise Sauce.
re: Roxc
My current hollandaise recipe says to whisk the lemon juice and egg yolks with salt and pepper, and then melt butter over medium heat, whisking constantly, until sauce is thick and there are tiny bubbles around the edge of the saucepan. The problem I have is that it separates after I remove it from the heat, and I have to whisk it again. Am I cooking it too long? Not long enough? Am I doing something else wrong?

Hello for whoever reading this :), I am Turkish007, (also known as TurkishCommando007) I am living in Istanbul, but my hometown is Rize, which is the land of tea, corn-bread, anchovy, cabbage, and crooked noses :D I dont have a lot of time to play games, but when I do I play Battlefield 1942 + its mods (Battlefield 1918 rocks!), Battlefield 2 + its mods (especially Forgotten Hope 2), Verdun Online, etc... I am one of the leaders of Forgotten Hope Turkish Community. I am especially interested in First World War and the Turkish War of Independence. Therefore, I think the best for my country and I am a Kemalist. Also, check out my YouTube channel, I upload cool army stuff frequently: youtube.com/user/MP40meatballTR
Posted by Turkish007 on Mar 8th, 2013
So, there are 2 projects for Forgotten Hope 2 that I need to finish, and I need voulenteer animators and navmeshers for them.
Project 1: Warsaw Uprising 1944 Custom Map Navmeshing
This custom map and skins made by [KamiKaze] Destroyer for FH2 was one of the most popular custom maps made and was played online a few times. The development was continuing until [KamiKaze] Destroyer disappeared for months and came back with the news that he wasnt going to continue the project.
You all probably know that its really hard to find players to play or organise an event for the custom maps, and I need someone to navmesh the map so everyone can enjoy an awesome SP game!
Some screens:
Second Project: Blyskawica SMG animating
One of the PR devs, Tim270, donated the Warsaw Uprising 1944 map's develper the model and skin of the Blyskawica SMG. He had found an animator, but the project wasnt continued after all. This SMG would make the map unique and pretty awesome. I need a voulenteer animator to animate the weapon.

If you dont have your hands full, and you want to work on these projects, please message me! I'll send you the files.

Kesha's Style Transformation: Love Or Hate?
I know you all picture the same thing when I say Kesha's style...you picture glitter and some type of animal print right?
I have to say she has always been one to stand out in a crowd (not that that is a bad thing) and lately she has been getting glam!
Love those shoes!!
I think her minor changes in fashion have kept her unique edge yet made her look more mature and put together.
What are your thoughts on her style?

At a tour stop in Paris, sitting his hotel room, the singer came up with the concept of a character named Poet Anderson. Now, nearly 15 years later, he's ready to incorporate that idea into a much larger and ambitious project with Angels & Airwaves than he's ever attempted before.

The prediction that the world will end on May 21, 2011, is the latest chapter in a long history of apocalyptic beliefs.

Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses (Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses)by Bill Henderson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Reviewing the 2008 edition of The Pushcart Prize, Publishers Weekly called it "a must-have for contemporary literature lovers" (starred review). The Chicago Tribune has raved, "When it comes to contemporary American literature, the small press is where the action is . . . of all anthologies, Pushcart's is the most rewarding to read straight through."
In The Pushcart Prize XXXIV more than sixty selections of short stories, essays, and poetry have been picked from thousands of nominations by Pushcart Press staff, contributing editors, and hundreds of small presses. This year Rosanna Warren and Wesley McNair serve as poetry editors. The result is an introduction to a literary world that few readers have access to, where much of today's important new writing is published, far from the commercial influence of the conglomerates.
The Pushcart Prize has been chosen for the Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement recognition by the National Book Critics Circle and for numerous other awards.
"This year's Pushcart anthology offers consistently good prose and poetry that covers a broad range of styles and topics. On the historical front, 'Tied to History' by Greil Marcus and 'A Poetics of Hiroshima' by William Heyen are among several pieces that reinvigorate well-plowed terrain from WWII, while 'Return to Hayneville' by Gregory Orr offers a shocking true tale of police rounding up, imprisoning and battering peaceful protestors in the segregated South. Contemporary standout pieces from J.C. Hallman ('Ethan: A Love Story') and Charles McLeod ('Edge Boys') mine the rich veins of, respectively, video games and suburban teenage prostitution. But not all of the pieces work: two of the unsuccessful stories in this volume — Mary Gaitskill's 'The Arms and Legs of the Lake' and Brock Clarke's 'Our Pointy Boots' — are failed efforts to interrogate the realities of troops returning from the second Iraq War. The anthology is at its most innovative with its poetry, which surpasses the prose in experiments with language and form." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
The most honored literary series in America marks its 34th year of continuous publication.
"The Chicago Tribune" has raved, When it comes to contemporary American literature, the small press is where the action is. This anthology gathers more than 60 selections of short stories, essays, and poetry.

There are certain moments when skirts are 100% appropriate — at the office or at a wedding, for example. But, they don't work for every situation. Have you ever tried picnicking in the park wearing a skirt? You either flash that new pair of skivvies or are forced to sit in an awkward mermaid position for hours. Not good.
But, there's an easy solution to your want-to-wear-a-skirt-but-can't conundrums: shorts that look like skirts (but aren't skorts, either). In most cases, these flowy, slightly oversized culottes could easily pass as a skirt, but when you're sitting — voilà — they're comfy bermudas, with no peekaboo situation to worry about. Ahead, see 20 of our favorite pairs that work this fashion magic.

The USS Bellerophon (NCC-74705) was a Federation Intrepid-class explorer in service to Starfleet in the late 24th century, commanded by Captain Adams. (DS9 episode: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges"; Decipher RPG module: Starships)
The Bellerophon travelled to Deep Space 9 in 2371 to assist Benjamin Sisko and his crew. (DS9 novel: The Laertian Gamble)
In 2375, the Bellerophon transported Federation delegates to Romulus for a conference on the Dominion War. (DS9 episode: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges"; Decipher RPG module: Starships; WizKids module: Tactics)
Jefferson Blackmer served aboard the Bellerophon after transferring from the USS Sarek. Blackmer would later transfer to the USS Perseverance. (ST - Typhon Pact novel: Plagues of Night)
In January or February of 2379, Admiral William Ross considered sending the Bellerophon to the Romulan border. (ST novel: Articles of the Federation)

As part of its ongoing mission to provide high quality healthcare to the community regardless of a patient's ability to pay, St. Francis Hospital, The Heart Center recently opened the Bishop McHugh Health Center at 750 South Broadway in Hicksville. The new 3,250 square foot facility will focus on providing primary care to the uninsured and underinsured. Its highly trained medical staff will provide physical examinations, lab work, x-rays, flu shots, appropriate immunizations and specialty referrals as needed.
"We realize that in these tough economic times many people are going without basic medical care because they lack health insurance," said Ruth Hennessey, EVP and chief administrative officer of St. Francis Hospital. "The Bishop McHugh Health Center brings together our community health, prevention, and outreach efforts with primary care and will provide for enhanced continuity of care," Hennessey added.
Many children's lives have been touched by the loss of a loved one to heart disease. Tom Glenn, a physical education teacher at Dutch Lane School and member of the board of directors of the Hicksville Congress of Teachers, recently helped the cause.
For each of the past eleven years that Tom Glenn has worked for the Hicksville School District, he has encouraged his students to participate in the American Heart Association's "Jump Rope for the Heart" fundraiser.
New York State Senator Carl L. Marcellino presented a proclamation to the Hicksville School District and the high school boys varsity soccer team for having secured the New York State Championship for Conference AA against Webster Schroeder High School. The team, coaches, and members of the administration gathered in the Kristoff Theater to hear the senator's laudatory remarks about their victorious efforts.
"Teamwork is essential to success," Senator Marcellino told the team members. "When we pull together as a team, we are strong and can't be stopped."
On Saturday, Dec. 3, an enthusiastic crowd welcomed American soprano Barbara Divis and Italian tenor Francesco Pavesi to Our Lady of Mercy's "A Night at the Opera." Divis and Pavesi performed a mixture of classical, popular, and seasonal favorites including Libiamo, Con Te Partiro, and O Holy Night.
Barbara Divis has performed over 35 lead roles throughout the country. She is known primarily for roles that demonstrate her expressive ability and acting prowess. She has performed Madama Butterfly with six opera companies and Mimi in La Boheme with seven opera companies. Companies of note that Barbara has performed with are Atlantic Opera, San Diego Opera, Austin Lyric Opera, Santa Barbara Opera, Opera San Jose and Hawaii Opera Theatre. Music from her two CDs is currently being featured with author Michael J. Vaughn in his novel, Operaville; sold on Amazon.com.
Governor Cuomo's proposal to open New York to hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has come under fire for failing to protect the state's residents from a method of gas drilling that pollutes the environment, explained a host of speakers at a rally to ban fracking held Dec. 15 at Mary Jane Davis Green in Manhasset.
In this challenging economy the buzzword is job creation and Cuomo has also been criticized for claiming fracking will create jobs, but, as speaker Patti Katz, Reach Out America (ROA), said, "You can't drink money." The complaint period against fracking has been extended to Jan. 11, 2012 and rally speakers encouraged everyone to visit amillionfrackingletters.com and to send Governor Cuomo one of their own letters.
It is said it takes a village to raise a child. In its own quiet and loving way, Hicksville has created a Christmas village for its neediest sons and daughters.
Thanks to the Hicksville Library's Food for Fines campaign and its generous donors, the Hicksville Boys and Girls Club received more than 100 pounds of food, all non-perishable goods, collected between Nov. 21 and this past Monday, Dec. 19. During that time period, the library waived fines up to and including two dollars a patron for a week in exchange for a donation.
The Second Squad reported the details of an attempted murder that occurred in Hicksville on Saturday, Dec. 17 at 1:30 a.m.
According to detectives, Joseph Ohlhausen, 33, armed with a kitchen knife, entered his mother and stepfather's bedroom and repeatedly stabbed his stepfather while he was sleeping. Detectives said the male victim, 58, ran out of the home to a neighbor and called police.
The Hicksville Fire District and Hicksville Water District held commissioner elections on Tuesday, Dec. 13. Scott Skrynecki was elected to the board of fire commissioners and Warren Uss was re-elected as water commissioner.
Uss is a third-generation lifelong resident of Hicksville and has been an active member of the Hicksville Fire Department for 37 years and is Ex-Captain of Emergency Company Five. He has served as chair of many of the department's committees and is past president of the Hicksville Exempt Association.
Hicksville resident John Blazich recently captured video of a burglar – one whose name will likely be headed for the proverbial naughty list this year – after a man allegedly removed a package from Blazich's Peachtree Lane home on Dec. 6, according to the homeowner.
Blazich said his wife was expecting a package, which had been confirmed as "delivered" through UPS, which then prompted Blazich to check footage from his home security system.
During this holiday season, the Hicksville community has something very special to be thankful for – the quick action of a teacher, Joseph Surgot, who saved the life of a child in October.
Surgot, a science teacher at the Hicksville Middle School, was on lunch duty in his building's cafeteria on Oct. 7 when he was alerted to a commotion at a lunch table. One of his seventh-grade students, 12-year old Kenneth Goubran, was doubled over choking. Surgot ran to the boy and performed the Heimlich maneuver, which he had learned in his First Aid Training course when he became a coach.

Romney has no plans to balance the budget soon either & it's likely the US Dollar will collapse under either Romney or Obama in 4 years. If you want to avoid bankruptcy, vote: Libertarian (Gary Johnson) or Constitution Party (Virgil Goode) or write in Ron Paul. Both Romney & Obama are not an option for the informed. Both the D & R Parties are controlled by the Power Elite pushing for a collapse of the US Dollar, US sovereignty & replaced with a One World Order & One World Currency.

I-59 project awarded to Tanner Construction
by MBJ Staff
Published: October 19,2009
Tags: Interstate 59, Laurel, MDOT, Mississippi Department of Transportation, Tanner Construction
LAUREL — The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) has awarded an $11.6 million contract to Tanner Construction of Jones County to reconstruct two miles of roadway on Interstate 59 from Fourth Avenue to Chantilly Street in Jones County.
Work on the interstate reconstruction project is scheduled to begin in the next week and will include clearing and grubbing along the highway, followed by roadway resurfacing. Along with widening the roadway and bridges, crews will be relocating existing lighting and building retaining walls. Once completed, the highway will have six-foot shoulders on the inside and 12-foot shoulders on the outside along the roadway.
Laurel Mayor Melvin Mack said the city looks forward to the installation of the new lighting, which is a part of the project.
The I-59 project is estimated to take about a year to complete.

Company has a strong commitment to employees with low employee turnover, generous vacation/sick leave, and accessibilty to senior management. Company is well-respected in the community.
Company compensation of employees is not communicated very well. Company has had an unofficial salary freeze for most employees the last two years.

"A stable but mediocre job "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Columbia Bank (WA & OR)Pros
Columbia Bank provides good job stability, a conservative culture, and reasonable benefits. The company also emphasizes work/family balance and is flexible in providing time off. Since it is a bank, employees get all the bank holidays off, as well as a floating day for their birthday. Management does not micro-manage and most departmental and branch managers seem to have a pretty laid back approach. Internet and email use, while monitored, is largely unfettered. Fellow employees are mostly happy, laid-back people. The company is willing to pay for some education, as long as the employee commits to a minimum number of additional months or years at the bank.Cons
Compensation is below market, as has been shown in a recent employee survey and in my own experience. The company is resistant to change and grows slowly; as a result, there is little opportunity for advancement. The resistance to change shows up in lots of little ways: senior management does not seek out employee input and largely ignores it when received; managers often "pass the buck" for problems not in their direct area of oversight; ineffective ways of doing things are held on to because that's the way they've always been done. Also, careerists tend to be less than ambitious, and there are more than a few lazy types spread throughout.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Be open to input and advice from the lower ranks. If you offer a competitive wage, you'll have better human resources -- if people are really the company's most valuable asset, then you should make that asset as valuable as possible.No opinion of CEO
